Unedited, amateur footage of the 1978 Wynns 1000 kms, won by Phil Adams and Brian Cook in Datsun 140. I have the programme and will ID cars and drivers later.

The RX2 RS belonged to my dad. Bought it from Dwayne Calitz. Still have a picture of it when hr sold it in 1979 as a roadcar. It was smashed by the new owner.

Awesome footage, great post. Trying to remember the cars and drivers - I think we see Geoff Mortimer in the Chev, Arnold Chatz's modified Alfa, Nico Bianco in the Group 1 Alfa, Billy Maloney in the modified Escort, to name a few.

Thanks! Those were the days. Look at the volumes of spectators. What a track, those days, my opinion.

Yes NG the little 1400 Datsun took some time to finish but the big V8 cars etc never finished. That little Datsun ran like clockwork.
